    Does the tv show the 'HDR' pop-up top right when you activate it?

    macOS Big Sur 11.0.1

    I downloaded the official version and tried to make a boot-usb twice, but though creatinstallmedia reports no errors, it doesn't create an EFI partition. I don't have anywhere to put OpenCore. Weird... EDIT D'oh. An easily overlooked mistake: don't format the usb drive with the (default) Master...

    Upgrade from Catalina

    I'm building a Big Sur installer to test. Are the Big Sur experimental patches (are they still considered such?) backwards compatible with Catalina? I'm not quite ready to upgrade but would like to prepare the groundwork. edit I might be overlooking something obvious, but I created the installer...

    Monitor no longer sleeps after 10.15.7 19H15 update

    Yeah, don't hold off on the update on my account. The supplemental update includes useful updates and my monitor sleeps fine again. (It took about 20 minutes and two reboots on my machine)

    Big Sur Release Candidate - 20B5022a

    With the actual release planned for tomorrow, I take it most of us would need to do some work before taking a Big Sur plunge. I'm on 0.6.3 myself, so would at the very least have to use the experimental patches? I'm first going to check some of my absolute necessities (Karabiner, ScanSnap, some...

    Monitor no longer sleeps after 10.15.7 19H15 update

    It seems to work again. The only thing I installed (and have since uninstalled) was the Black Magic Disk Speed Test, but honestly I can't think of a reason why that would have had this impact. Anyway, I'm happy.

    Monitor no longer sleeps after 10.15.7 19H15 update

    Anyone notice this? I applied the second supplemental update, but now my monitor does not enter sleep (set to 15 minutes). It just displays the screensaver forever. I've rebooted, double checked the settings but nothing changed, except for the second supplemental.

    Opencore 0.6.2 success with Big Sur but it always boots with black screen

    MVP for dropping your solution for any future reference (y)

    GPU Performance Improved

    Sorry for the late reply, I had a busy week at work. I'll see what I can do, will have to edit out my serial and motherboard id and stuff. But it's a great hardware combo, it runs rock solid. I'll message you once I got round to it (or are you REALLY waiting on it?) ;)

    How to transfer video to Mac OS easily?

    I use Softorino YouTube Converter. It's paid software (20 bucks) but well worth it. edit I've been using it for ages (and bought a standalone version in 2019) but it seems they've switched to a subscription model for version 2. Booh.

    Help, Need to press Enter Key Several Times to show Login Screen

    Is the keyboard wired? Maybe try a different port?

    GPU Performance Improved

    Wait, people actually game under macOS? (Not being snarky, I reboot to Windows because I think that's the greatest advantage of genuine dual booting ;) What is recommended? I do have Steam but most games I'm interested in are Windows-only anyway) I reran the test two times with no other running...

    GPU Performance Improved

    Ran a Geekbench 5 Metal test before and after patching and it went from 49525 to 50406. Seriously, it's amazing that patching can squeeze out more performance! Thanks for your hard work!

    [SOLVED] Weird artifacts when installer loads with B550 board

    Add agdpmod=pikera in your boot arguments to see if it helps.

    AMD USB Port Mapping

    For what it's worth, the HibernationFixup didn't work for me. I've also mapped ports and have that ITE device (never realised it might be for the RGB :unsure:). When I'm feeling up to it I might map that out and see if that does anything.

    Curious: what does / how do you set MemoryFormFactor?

    There is very little documentation of the entry for MemoryFormFactor, beyond what is simply stated in the docs: MemoryFormFactor Type: plist integer, 8-bit Failsafe: OEM specified SMBIOS: Memory Device (Type 17) — Form Factor Description: Memory form factor. On Macs it should be DIMM or SODIMM...

    [SOLVED] Kernel Panic on reboot after apparently successful security update 10.15.7

    Ha, that's exactly my approach too. First test on a stick, only then change things on the boot drive. I use Lilu and Friends to grab the latest kexts. Switched to 0.6.2 yesterday and that went pretty smoothly. (y)

    [SOLVED] Kernel Panic on reboot after apparently successful security update 10.15.7

    It couldn't hurt, just keep a copy of your current working EFI just in case. 0.6.2 just came out today, so it's probably best to make the big leap, if you're going to do the work anyway. :)

    [SOLVED] Kernel Panic on reboot after apparently successful security update 10.15.7

    Is there anything in the APPLE > EXTENSIONS folders? That would be my prime suspect. Later versions of OpenCore (I'm running 0.6.1 0.6.2 myself) have options like the boolean run-efi-updater so you can safely do without that APPLE folder. I can't remember when that was introduced exactly... (On...
